Installation Guide
- Disconnect the negative battery cable and remove the engine cover for safety.
- Place the outboard in neutral and remove the bolts securing the lower unit (gearcase) to the upper casing, then carefully lower it.
- Unbolt and remove the old water pump housing to expose the impeller and wear plate.
- Note the orientation of the old parts, then remove the impeller, Woodruff key, wear plate, and gaskets.
- Thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, ensuring they are free of old gasket material, salt deposits, or corrosion.
- Install the new dowel pins and Woodruff key onto the driveshaft.
- Place the new gasket and cartridge outer plate onto the lower unit.
- Slide the new impeller onto the driveshaft, turning the shaft clockwise to correctly seat the impeller vanes inside the housing.
- Install the new cartridge insert and O-rings, ensuring they are properly seated.
- Secure the new pump housing with the provided bolts, tightening them evenly to the manufacturer's specified torque.
- Reinstall the lower unit onto the outboard, ensuring the driveshaft, shift shaft, and water tube are correctly aligned.
- Once assembled, start the engine using a water supply (flushing muffs) and confirm a steady stream of water from the tell-tale port.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
A: First, check your engine's model and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. This kit fits a specific range of Yamaha F75, F80, F90, and F100 models. For further verification, we recommend using the linked Yamaha Serial Number Guide to identify your exact engine details.
Q: What are the common signs of a failing water pump impeller?
A: Key indicators include the engine overheating at idle or low speeds, a weak or intermittent water stream from the "tell-tale" outlet port, or a high-pitched whining sound from the lower unit. During a visual inspection, you may also see cracked, brittle, or missing vanes on the old impeller.
Q: How often should I replace the water pump impeller?
A: For preventative maintenance and to ensure engine reliability, it is best practice to inspect the impeller annually and replace it every 1-2 years or 100-200 hours of use. Replacement intervals should be shorter if the engine is operated frequently in saltwater or sandy/silty conditions.

A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
